Now he's looking at being traded away from a great situation and opportunity, not because of anything he's done, but because the GM made a couple of big mistakes.
I'd be pretty pissed frankly if I was going to be traded from the team I'd spent 7 years with because James Neal just showed up and is getting paid more than I am and can't play hockey anymore.

Whatever. It's a business. Players know the game the second they decide to get an agent and go for it. Not every player is going to get drafted and play for that team their entire careers. If a player/team negotiate a salary and it's less than what he wanted/couldve gotten, that's on the player/agent, not on the team.
People need to take the feelings of players out of the equation. They are commodities that have value. You need value to trade to invest in more value.
